What did we learn about COVID in 2020? A thread on studies from the first year..

Updated with a questions view to more easily group studies based on topics: covid-studies.org?view=questions Added tagging and more studies but could use help adding even more studies and curating!

Braindumped covid software projects, websites/initiatives/mitigation tools such as co2 trackers, air filter products, iaq measuring tools, wastewater scanners if anyone has links I missed let me know: covid-list.org

As of Today the indoorco2map.com App is out of beta and available as regular Version in the Android and Apple app store. This is a big milestone, yet only still the beginning of a long road ahead to put indoor air quality both figuratively and literally on the map. Thanks a lot to all testers!

Hey y’all—David Esteban’s @patientled.bsky.social funded Long Covid study has hit a snag just before the finish line—the cost to process samples went up. They’ve collected 43 but now can only run 20. $7000 would cover the rest! Thanks so much for giving or boosting!

3 years ago I joined a panel of patients to determine how to allocate $4.8 million to Long COVID, ME/CFS, & dysautonomia research (the @patientled.bsky.social research fund). It was an amazing experience working with patients like @ahandvanish.bsky.social @themegascope.bsky.social & many more. 🧵

☀️🌴California friends 🌴☀️ Every student attending a public school in CA has a constitutional right to safe & healthy facilities. A notice of these rights is required to be displayed in every (non-charter) public classroom. 🔎Can you find one? Let us know here: cleanairallies.org/projects/

This is neat! My video on how to use a CO2 monitor to measure ventilation has been reviewed by a YouTube channel dedicated to home performance. It's really good, and they bring up a few points I missed. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzce...

Had an enjoyable conversation with Daniella (www.publichealthisdead.com) this afternoon. We chatted about the challenges around discussing public health in 2025 (specifically airborne disease transmission). Check out her podcast, it’s both timely and brilliant.

Labcorp now has an H5N1 test. You still need a doctor to order the test, but hopefully this will help with access www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

Labcorp can now test for the H5N1 bird flu. It seems Quest can, too, based on details of a CA case. It shouldn't take 8 months to involve our diagnostics sector. But better late than never. From a Labcorp email:

The never before seen Borrelia burgdorferi caught in the act of making trouble in our mouse model of borrelia infection-associated chronic illness. I feel so grateful to get to collaborate with Kunzan Liu (who took these sunning images), and Sixian You who makes the invisible visible.

*Looking for volunteers!* I along with the help of a few others are building a Mask Recommender Based on Facial Features. TLDR: Goal: scan a face with a phone to get accurate facial measurements, and get a list of masks that have high probability of fitting that individual's face.

Announcing covid-studies.org - there are 3 modes - normal, timeline and a mindmap mode. Collaboration with @mildtin.bsky.social / @jasongale.bsky.social and others. Would appreciate any input / studies and topics that we may be missing. Plan to make spinoffs for other related topics too.
